...experienced eye, some changes in the details of the stroke will be noticeable. The light dip which allowed a hard catch on the beginning will give way to a full dip which requires a constant pressure throughout the stroke. Particular care will be taken to obtain a hard and complete finish, which will at the same time allow an easier and gentler shoot. As the crew is a light one, the stroke rowed will probably be faster than heretofore. The body movements within the boat, with one or two exceptions, are generally very good.

Either the gentleman who was so badly handled was also ignorant of sparring, or else in an unfit condition to appear...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- In reply to your suggestion in Thursday's issue, I wish to state that we secured Sever 11 because Mr. Gough preferred to speak to a small, select body of students; rather than to a large, mixed audience in Sanders Theatre. If the faculty will allow us the use of Sanders for our future meetings, we shall only be too glad to avail ourselves of the opportunity...
